okay great my computer just hanged halfway while i was typing this entry about how terrible my computer is, perhaps to give me another reason to re-type this entry with more evidence of the inefficiency of this computer.

first of all, sorry but i decided not to update on the new zealand trip anymore since i have uploaded the pictures and the pictures themselves would speak for the trip if you are interested. (actually to be frank i am too lazy to tranfer the pictures from photobucket to blogger one by one and painstakingly copying and pasting the numerous URLs and rearraging the photographs by dragging down on the blogger posting interface which is seriously a very laborious job plus the fact that trip is already quite outdated. photobucket used to have this function whereby one can blog numerious photographs from their site at one go without the need to copy and paste the URLs to the blogger posting interface but now they seemed to have scrape away with this function or is it that i am not familar with the new photobucket...anyone please advise?)

currently i have two items on my mind that i really wish that i have in possession:

1) a new computer
okay although i have got three computers at home now the so-called newest and most efficient computer is always occupied by my dad for games (sigh), the second newest computer is always used by my sister and i have to settle for this really old and cranky computer which takes approximately five minutes to start up and may hang at any moment at countless occasions (including just now). quite sick of having to use this computer with this constant impending fear of it hanging while blogging, chatting, surfing and simply just typing a project report on microsoft word. that is also the reason why you always see me popping in and out of msn at the bottom right hand side of your monitor like an irritant. according to this sticker pasted on this HP Pavilion 8612 CPU that i am using now, it says there that it has got "64MB 100 MHz SDRAM". don't really know what that means because i am not quite a techwhiz but i think it simply means that this computer is in a really bad status. the monitor is so bad it makes the pictures taken from our 7.0 megapixels camera look distorted and foggy. plus i have a feeling it may just crash any moment and i may lose all my precious files that i have no choice but to save in this computer (since i have to use this computer everytime, duh). so i think i really need a new computer.

2) a comfortable sofa / bean-bag
i like to study or read sitting on the sofa. however, my mom recently brought in this sofa from my aunt's old house and discarded away the old sofa that has got scratches and tears on it. this sofa is probably the most uncomfortable place to sit on. while sitting on the sofa, the curvature ot the sofa would force one to lean forward the upper part of the body (the area around the shoulders and neck) which is really uncomfortable and gives me the "vomitting" sensation everytime i sat on it. so i avoided sitting on it and hope that we would have a more comfortable new sofa or just a comfortable sofa chair in my room where i could sit to study or read...or simply a bean-bag which would also be like a thousand times more comfortable than the sofa in the living room now.

i didn't dare to tell my parents about these request, if not they would go into this hysterical WE-NEED-TO-SAVE-MONEY frenzy. some of my aunties said i am a squanderer but i don' think so. how can i be one when i request to go to foodcourts everytime i go out with my friends when they intended to visit some more expensive restaurants and complain everytime when they go to swensens, NYDC etc. i was even labelled as STINGY by my friends not long ago. i understand the need to save money but i don't think it is fair that they said i spent money mindlessly. i know earning money is a difficult task and that i am from an average family but i don't think that i am a squander. or am i?

sigh i think these items would only appear in my dreams...

christmas is coming soon which means the school is starting in no time and i have not really start on any school work at all and my english is still as bad.
